To United States, among the Florida cities hardest hit by Hurricane Ian is Fort Myers. The inhabitants are deprived of power there, like 2.5 million homes in Florida, Thursday, September 29. The wind uprooted the trees and tore down the electric poles.

To Fort entrance Myers (Florida, United States), Thursday September 29, is, on the road, a boat deposited by the extreme winds and the waves submersible. The city was one of the hardest hit areas by Hurricane Ian. The marina is completely devastated. A yacht was literally transported tens of meters on land by the violence of the elements. Another man lived on his boat. All he has left of this ship is a t-shirt with a picture of the ship printed on it.

From affluent neighborhoods to popular housing estates, many residents had fortunately listened to evacuation instructions. A family spent the night in a shelter, and comes to see the damage: it is a lifetime of savings and investments taken away. In another neighborhood, neighbors help each other. “Rebuilding will take weeks, and for many people here in Florida, it will be necessary to start from scratch, because as often in United States, many of these homes are uninsured,” concludes journalist Loïc de la Mornais, special envoy to Fort Myers.
